1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
General details
Chemical formula CH3COOH
CAS number 64-19-7
Appearance Colourless, water like liquid
Product application
Sectorwise application
Sector Application details
Pharmaceuticals Eg. In the preparation of ibuprofen, Sulphamethoxazole, Chloroquin,
Metronidazole etc
Textiles In making Purified telepthalic acid (PTA)
Acidulant & Preservative Eg: Vinegar, Jams, Pickles, Ketchups etc.
Chemical synthesis For eg. Monochloroacetic acid (MCA), Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM)
Acetates Eg. Cellulose acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Zinc acetate, Amyl acetate etc.
Pesticides Eg. Chlorpyriphos, Acephate
Diketene & its derivatives Eg. Monomethyl acetoacetamide, ethyl acetoacetamide, MAA
Tanning / dyes Laundry sour, printing calico & dyeing
Solvents For gums, resins & volatile oils
Pickling Acetic acid / citric acid / oxalic acid or formic acid can be used to acidify
a skin to kill bacteria makes the skin easier to flesh and creates a
positive ionic charge in the skin fibres to attract tannins.
Derivative products
• Acetic anhydride
• Diketene and its derivatives
(Monomethyl acetoacetamide, ethyl acetoacetamide, methyl acetoacetate)
• Acetate esters (Cellulose acetate, ethyl acetate, zinc acetate, amyl acetate etc)
• Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM)
• Monochloro acetic acid (MCA)
• Purified terephthalic acid (PTA)

Usage of acetic acid in textile sector
‘Fabric softeners’ is added at the end of the washing process is to neutralise the very small amounts of
detergents left in the textiles and thus prevent static electricity.
The simplest way to inactivate any detergents left in the fabric is to neutralise the pH to between 6.5
and 7.5 through addition of a small amount of acetic acid. Through this method, the activity of the alkali
and surfactants is eliminated.
Acetic acid is not a fabric softener in principle but is often used for this purpose in professional
laundries.
Acetic acid is a weak organic acid which is readily degradable and has no adverse effects in the
environment except for the use of oxygen for degradation. It is also readily degradable under anaerobic
conditions.

3. INDIAN SUPPLY SCENARIO
Indian Manufacturers and their production level – April 2012 to March 2013
In tonnes
Name of the organisation Installed capacity Production
GNFC, Gujarat 150000 170500
Industrial Organics, Ludhiana 75000 11500
Trichy Distrilleries, Trichy 24000 18000
Total 249000 200000
Most of the units including Jubilant Organosys and Somaiya Organics confirmed that they stopped
production of acetic acid. They imported acetic acid for captive consumption as well as for supply to
other consumers in India.
New Project
Company Indian Oil Corp (IOC) JV with BP
Project capacity One million tonnes per annum of acetic acid
Project location Gujarat
Process BP's Cativa XL technology
Schedule 2015
The Indian market is sufficiently large to accommodate one worldscale plant. But Reliance Industries has
talked about building plants for acetic acid and derivatives at Jamnagar, Gujarat. This project too has
been in the pipeline for a few years and it remains to be seen if the company will be interested in
pursuing it after the BP-IOC announcement.
It is also interesting that BP which has joined hands with Reliance in the gas value chain has decided to
partner IOC for acetic acid.
